Description

Located in the semi-rural village of Longney, between Stroud and Gloucester, this deceptively spacious family home occupies a level plot of around 1.3 acres surrounded by open countryside. Internally the spacious reception hall gives a taster of the sheer quality of the accommodation that lies beyond. The heart of the home is without doubt the fabulous kitchen/dining/family room flooded with light and a real wow factor with underfloor heating, sociable relaxation and entertaining areas, floor to ceiling picture windows and two sets of doors opening to the rear gardens/patio. A spacious utility room is located off the kitchen, easily doubling up as a boot room, with access to the side of the house. The study and sitting room are equally well proportioned with the aforementioned making an ideal play room for children. Within the sitting room, a brick built fireplace provides a focal point with wood burning stove, ideal for cosy winter evenings. Additional areas on the ground floor include a separate WC.

Electric gates lead to off street parking for an array of vehicles together with a detached garage/workshop and double car port.

Directions

The property is most easily found by leaving Stroud in the direction of the M5 Motorway. Continue over the motorway and at the next roundabout turn right onto the A38 in the Gloucester direction. After approximately 2 miles turn left into Castle Lane. Continue over the canal and at the t-junction turn right towards Longney passing through the village of Epney. At the next Junction turn right towards Elmore where the property can be found after a short distance on the right hand side.

Location

High Green is situated immediately south-west of Gloucester on the Severn Vale, a delightfully rural part of Gloucestershire, where a network of country lanes connect a scattered collection of little villages interspersed between acres of rich farmland. Life on the Vale is often represented as being calmer and less frenetic than elsewhere and certainly the setting of High Green could not be more peaceful, with uninterrupted views from the rear of the house across open countryside towards the Cotswold escarpment. Ironically however, Junctions 12 and 13 of the M5 motorway are an easily accessible drive for commuting to the Midlands or Bristol and there are mainline stations at Gloucester (7miles) and Stonehouse (9 miles) - London Paddington (from 95 minutes).

Longney has an excellent village school and there is a wide choice of secondary schools including Sir Thomas Rich's and King's in Gloucester, Wycliffe College at Stonehouse and Stroud High and Marling in Stroud. There are lovely walks in the surrounding countryside while the lanes are great for cyclists. Frampton on Severn has good local services together with a sailing club and there are major supermarkets within easy reach.
